Ingredients
- 200 g rice
- 340 g chicken breast
- 150 g red pepper
- 100 g green pepper
- 100 g onion
- 60 g crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Method, step by step
- Cook the rice in plenty of salted water according to the packet (about 12-15 minutes), drain it and keep it covered so it stays fluffy.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Cut the red and green peppers into strips and slice the onion thinly.
- Heat half the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat and stir-fry the chicken strips for 5-6 minutes until browned; remove and set aside.
- In the same frying pan add the remaining oil and stir-fry the peppers and onion for 5 minutes until softened but still with some bite.
- Return the chicken to the frying pan, add the crushed tomatoes, paprika, cumin and garlic powder, and stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes so the flavour come together.
- Divide the rice between two plates and top with the chicken and pepper fajitas. Serve piping hot.
